We have installed literally hundreds of Driveways over the last 22 years ! - Many photos can be found within this site.
Driveway Example 1. The client Brief was: More parking by reducing the Large bank of soil, Provide a interesting entrance to the property, bin storage areas, provide wall to bank the remaining garden area. A medium budget Driveway & Wall Design. |
|
We can design & build very high end Driveways - Built bespoke just for you ... LET us design your dream Drive.
Driveway Example 2. The client Brief was: More parking by reducing the existing planting, Provide a interesting entrance to the property using a low maintenance product, Retain all existing and new flower beds, Create an interesting welcoming entrance to the property, reduce gaps between paving. A great example of a very high Driveway budget. |

We have completed many Large Decorative Gravel with reinforcing Grids Driveways.
Gravel & Grid example 1. (Modern) Due to the considerable size we needed needed to break down the area into separate zones to soften the Hard Landscaping. The Client wanted a Contemporary and Modern look to suite the New build property. We sourced a stunning Silver grey granite direct from Cornwall and some Smooth fine lined block paving to compliment the gravel - sourcing the ideal materials to achieve the desired look that compliments the Style of the new property. We used low profile retaining edging that provides shrub root retention on the left and a dark raised kerb to hold back the slightly elevated area on the right that also contains storage. A above average budget for a large Driveway. |

Gravel & Grid example 2. (Traditional)
Again another Large Driveway that needed to be broken into separate areas to soften the Hard Landscaping. The Client wanted a Rustic look and Natural looking Gravel that lightened the area immediately outside the property and darker Block paving to hide debris that fall from the overhead trees - we sourced the ideal materials to achieve the desired look that compliments the Property age. We used low profile retaining edging that provides soil retention while allowing ground covering shrubs to eventually sweep over parts of the driveway to add character to this Older style property. High end Budget for a stunning Driveway. |

Traditional Patios example.
We have installed hundreds of Patios over the last 22 + years ! - Many photos can be found on this site. The client wanted a simple, mellow look with warming tones and had to compliment the existing brick of the house ... I knew straight away what would work ! Large metallic Planters to hold back the garden area create a stunning backdrop. Non-edged Patio to keep the design simple. various pathways and elevated sections to host BBQ parties. Medium budget for a large Garden (Sandstone used rather than Porcelain) |

Contemporary Patio example.
Example of one of the many modern Patios we have built over the last 22 years ! - as can be seen throughout this website. Our Client wanted easy clean Paving to host BBQs with friends and family and to avoid soil staining the Patio We also installed a large be-spoke sleeper planter that will be planted by the client. We provided low steps that lead up to a natural gravel on fabric area that also featured some planting pockets for some structural planting - we recommended using Purpureum New Zealand Fax - that would look simply stunning each side of the steps ! NOTE: WE NEVER SET SLEEPERS INTO THE GROUND - ONLY ONTO ENGINEERING PLINTHS - BUILT TO LAST - Despite this method being more expensive we only build off masonry engineering plinths to honour our very long guarantee's. Another example of a high end budget for a medium sized garden. |

Traditional / Modern Patio example.
Example of one of the many modern Patios we have built over the last 22 years ! - as can be seen throughout this website. Our Client wanted a traditional riven Patio with a modern colour scheme to host BBQ's with friends and family and somewhere to simply relax. There was a need to match the blue/grey hues of the new extension doors and windows, We sourced sleek silver grey Sandstone and basalt grey gabion stones We also installed a large Gabion wall that doubles up as additional seating and retains the flower borders, along with a traditional Pergola and Natural lawn at the rear of the Garden. The one thing that stood out for me after this installation was the amazing blue / grey hues ... it looks simply stunning. A great example of a high budget garden build. |

Example of our smaller Garden Projects.
We are often approached by Clients who love our work but unfortunately have a limited budget for the build (Our garden builds start from around 15k) Unfortunately replacing all the fencing and the lawn was beyond the allocated budget, so this project was a blur between a Patio and Full garden. Our Client desired an easy clean Patio to host BBQ's with friends and family and easy to mow the existing natural lawn - we placed cut strips of linear porcelain to provide a mowing strip. We also installed a bespoke planter that will be planted by the client - due to the limited budget the client also decided to recover the Natural lawn by over-seeding the existing. NOTE: WE NEVER SET SLEEPERS INTO THE GROUND - ONLY ONTO ENGINEERING BRICK PLINTHS - BUILT TO LAST - Despite this method being more expensive we only build off masonry plinth to honour our very long guarantees. This is a good example of a minimum-budget garden build for a small garden. |

Example of our Small family entertaining gardens.
Our Client wanted a complete overhaul of the garden, requiring a more "Adult" garden now the Children have grown up. The brief was to build a rustic/beachy theme with a family holiday vibe. This Garden was designed to be low maintenance along with a place to relax at the bottom of the garden along with a rustic pathway joining the small relaxing area to the large Family entertaining area, complete with BBQ area and plenty of seating - with the flower beds ready to be planted - this time by the customer as they own a garden nursery! This is an excellent example of the minimum build budget we would work with for this sized garden. |

Example of our Large family entertaining gardens.
Our Client decided to start from scratch - with the garden completely stripped back to the soil, this particular garden was also shown previously on this site as it shows the many high-end skills that we can provide for you. The Garden consists of a sunken firepit complete with cedar wood seating, a bespoke fire bowl, a high-end Parasol, Outside Kitchen area complete with an imported USA BBQ grill along with seating. further seating area for children, Large Millboard decking, Large Porcelain Patio, Planting and Lawn, and bespoke pergola with shade sail to provide the outdoor kitchen with shower protection. This is an excellent example of a VERY high build budget. 60K + |
